Facts on St. Petersburg

City of monuments and grand European-style facades, St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great on swampy ground along the Neva River to be a bulwark against Sweden, to serve as his "window on the West," and to become a splendid showcase for art, music, and literature. It was named capital of Russia in 1712 and remained so until after the Bolshevik revolution, when it was renamed Leningrad. During 1941-44 the city was besieged by the German Army, and nearly a million residents died. Restored in name and splendor, it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Site of a naval base, St. Petersburg's location gives Russia an outlet to the Baltic Sea.

But we are much more evolved than animals. So we want to achieve something in life that satisfies us. That makes us feel a success. All of us have our own goals. Some of us have goals that look highly impossible. But history tells us that this has been done. Unknown people born in unknown families have ama...
